    Question After error database have less size

    I'm using Access 2007. I was using the database and an error occurred. Not a programming error, but access error, the one that tells you to Send a Report.
    "Backup and Send a Report".

    So, after that I have in my folder database_backup.mdb with 9,75 Mb and database.mdb with 3,9 Mb. Seems to be the same exact database. Same number of records, etc, so why the size is so different?

    When this happens, Access executes a Compact and Repair while backing up the problem database.
